Registered tax agent

We're looking for a registered Tax Agent to join our team, working closely with a portfolio of self-employed clients — sole traders, contractors, and small business owners across a range of industries. You'll be responsible for end-to-end tax compliance and advisory work, with a strong focus on accuracy, deadlines, and client communication.

This role requires hands-on proficiency in MYOB Accountants Office (AO) and confidence handling the complexities that come with self-employed income — variable earnings, deductions, GST/BAS obligations, and structuring considerations.

• Maintain client records and workflows within MYOB Accountants Office

• Liaise directly with clients to gather information, explain obligations, and resolve queries

• Review financial statements and working papers prior to lodgement

• Identify tax planning opportunities and deduction eligibility for self-employed clients

• Ensure compliance with ATO requirements and TPB Code of Professional Conduct

• Liaise with the ATO on client matters as required (payment plans, audits, queries)

• Support senior accountants/partners with more complex advisory matters as needed

• Registered Tax Agent (TPB) — current and in good standing

• Demonstrated proficiency in MYOB Accountants Office (essential)

• Solid experience preparing returns for self-employed / sole trader clients

• Strong understanding of GST, BAS, PAYG, and small business tax concessions

• CA/CPA qualified or working towards (highly regarded, not essential)

• Excellent attention to detail and time management across a busy client portfolio

• Clear, confident communicator — comfortable explaining tax matters to non-technical clients

• Experience with trust structures and small business CGT concessions is a plus

• Competitive salary based on experience

• Flexible working arrangements [hybrid/remote/in-office — adjust as needed]

• Ongoing professional development and CPD support

• Supportive, collaborative team environment

• Established client base — no cold client acquisition required
